Macro of a coin

Come on people; the shield is in focus; isn't it kind of an interesting shot?
I think Lucas is bribing people or something to vote for him.

A Random Macro


Macro 1, by Lucas: One of my favorite friends, the more I see of him the better I feel. lol

Yes, I know the photo is really not very good.  however, perhaps something can be said for the "light and dark sides" lighting

The Moon

Picture 1, by Lucas




Picture 2, by Max

You can clearly see the advantage of a longer focal length in moon shots; Lucas was using an EF 75-300mm lens, which equates to 480mm on his camera due to its APS-C (cropped-frame) sensor.
I (Max) used a 55-250mm EF-S lens and cropped the photo...perhaps if I had had a camera with more megapixels, such as the 7D, I'd have been able to zoom in more and get more detail.
480mm vs. 250mm; not very fair there, is it?
